Roddick Comment on Kyrgios Sparks Twitter Debate (at least on my timeline)


Former US Open Champion and World No. 1 Andy Roddick returned to live tennis commentary via Periscope. While Roddick commentated on both the Serena Williams/Vania King and Juan Martin del Potro/Steve Johnson second round matches, it was a comment he made when answering a question about Nick Kyrgios that generated a lot of response, at least on my own Twitter response timeline after I posted the comment.

While I don’t remember the actual question, this is what Roddick said about Kyrgios.

 

After posting this, I received many responses to it. Debates about Kyrgios and his personality are nothing new.

The Transition Game

The first time I ever saw Andy Roddick play live was in 2002 at the U.S. Open when he took on Juan Ignacio Chela in the fourth round. Yes it was that match during the “visor” days when Roddick, in the middle of one point, made some spectacular saves before hitting a final running winner that sent him over to the sidelines where he then proceeded to high-five anyone close enough to him.

It was my first Roddick moment. Continue reading →

Roddick Unveils New Look at AAMI Kooyong Classic.

We haven’t heard a whole lot from Andy Roddick since the end of last season, except perhaps on his new sports radio show with Bobby Bones that has earned Roddick kudos and some attention as a possible sports announcer when his tennis career ends. And though Roddick has kept a low profile at the start of this month leading up to next week’s Australian Open, Roddick’s appearance at a press event for the AAMI Kooyong Classic earned him more attention not for what he said, but for his new look.

Is Andy Roddick Too Passive to Win One More Grand Slam?

For Andy Roddick, who has shouldered the burden of being for a long time not only the top American male player but also, for lack of a better phrase, “American Men’s Tennis”, 2010 has been something of a turning point, for better and worse. Despite having a decent run this spring getting to the finals of Indian Wells and winning Miami, beating Rafael Nadal in the process, many thought Roddick had an excellent chance to succeed later in the summer in the Grand Slams. But instead of continuing with his aggressive play that saw him use his once feared forehand more often as if by instinct, Roddick has lately reverted back to a more passive backcourt style that many, including his former Davis Cup coach Patrick McEnroe, have viewed as a step backwards.
